So what exactly is the problem
Nanny Yuan hesitated for a moment and then reminded Princess Chang'an: "But Princess, we were able to come up with a strategy of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, so it's not necessarily that the Wei family couldn't think of it..."
This means that the Wei family sending people to Qujing might just be a cover to avoid people's eyes and ears, intending to build a plank road in the open and secretly cross Chencang.
But the question is, if the Wei family really did this.
That means the Wei family already knows that the Ming family's child is not in her hands now and is no longer in Qujing.
Then the question arises, how did the Wei family know
Princess Chang'an couldn't figure it out, and she couldn't help but feel a little irritated: "When the old man was dying, he said that he was the only one in the world who knew this secret. Even that man surnamed Pang didn't know the child's background?"
The old man she was talking about was Old Master Yuan.
What the princess told Wei An and Prince Zheng before were not all made up. It was indeed Old Master Yuan who kept the secret until now. At the time, Old Master Yuan really couldn't bear it and felt that the Ming family was wronged and pitiful, so he kept the child.
But bringing it to the capital would be too conspicuous.
Although Old Master Yuan still had a conscience and did not go along with Liu Yun and others, it was absolutely impossible for him to go against Liu Yun and the King of Chu.
He thought of a compromise and found a wife for the young man named Pang who was also picked up in Fuyuan County, and passed the child off as their own to raise.
Later, they were sent far away to Xi'an.
I'm just afraid of too much gossip.
It was not until the day of his death that Old Master Yuan revealed the matter. He originally wanted to tell it to Prince Consort Yuan, but Prince Consort Yuan was out on business at that time. He knew he could not wait, so he told the Princess Chang'an.
Let the princess convey the message to Prince Consort Yuan.
In the end, Princess Chang'an still did not tell Prince Consort Yuan.
She intuitively felt that this would bring a lot of benefits.
In fact, she guessed right.
This child is extremely important to King Zheng and the Wei family, and is a perfect handle to blackmail them.
But this information should only be known by her, and that is what makes it valuable.
If anyone else knows...
Nanny Yuan shook her head and denied it: "The old master said it himself. Even the old lady didn't tell this matter... No one knows..."
She hesitated, but still asked, "Could it be related to the Second Master? After all, it was the Second Master who got into trouble this time..."
Princess Chang'an could not see Yuan He.
I don’t know what’s wrong with Anqing and that guy. They don’t even allow anyone to visit them.
If she hadn't acted quickly and transferred the account books and key witnesses early, the incident would have become a bigger deal.
I really don’t know if it’s Yuan He.
After all, Princess Chang'an only told Mr. Bai and Yuan He about this matter.
But Yuan He wouldn't be so stupid as to tell King Zheng and Wei An.
What he knew was very limited. He only knew that there was a child still alive in the Ming family.
The key point is not here. She sorted out her thoughts and told Nanny Yuan: "Don't worry about it. Write to Mr. Bai first and ask him to bring the child back as soon as possible."
As long as the person is in their hands, they are not afraid of the Wei family and King Zheng causing trouble.
And now... ... the most urgent task is not to find a way to clear Yuan He's name------Prince Zheng and Wei An were obviously well prepared, and this wave of attacks came quickly and urgently, just to make her cut off Yuan He's arm.
Yuan He is important, but he is not so important that she should give up what she has now.
She still has a lot to do.
Seeing that Nanny Yuan was going out, she quickly summoned the housekeeper and asked him to strictly control everyone in the mansion. She also called her son Yuan Hongwen and asked him in a deep voice: "Have you been fooling around with Shen Chen recently?"
Yuan Hongwen was a little surprised why his mother asked this, but he still answered obediently with his neck shrunk.
He knew that his mother seemed to dislike him playing with Shen Chen less and less recently.
But there is no dude in the capital who doesn't play with Shen Chen, and Shen Chen can always find interesting places and interesting ways to play... ...
Princess Chang'an did not ask any more questions, but just cleared her throat and said, "Now your sister's wedding is imminent, and your second uncle is in trouble again. We can't let any more trouble happen to our family. You should also be careful about what you say and do. Don't go out and fool around and give others a handle. Just stay at home and help out. You are not young anymore. When other children reach your age, how can they not do things?"
Yuan Hongwen said "oh" and was about to leave, but he turned back when he remembered something and scratched his head and said, "Mother, my second uncle... is he okay?"
Obviously something is wrong.
Because this case alarmed Emperor Longqing and was related to the eldest princess, the Ministry of Justice tried it particularly quickly, and after Yuan He readily pleaded guilty, the verdict was quickly made.
Yuan He was sentenced to exile in southern Xinjiang for running a gambling house and killing people.
When the news was delivered to Princess Chang'an, she was busy watching Madam Quanfu putting makeup on her daughter. Upon hearing the news, her hands trembled slightly and a look of pain flashed across her eyes. She quickly came to her senses, smiled as she watched Madam Quanfu sing auspicious words, and personally put a veil on her daughter.
On such an important day, Prince Consort Yuan must show up.
He looked at his daughter kneeling on the ground with a unhappy expression, and said some polite words in a serious tone about respecting parents-in-law and observing the code of conduct for women. Just as he was about to stop, the hall became chaotic.
The servant quickly came up with an embarrassed look on his face and reported that the second master had come home.
He was sentenced to exile and begged the escorting officers to come home to pack his clothes.
Everyone looked at Prince Consort Yuan and Princess Chang'an with strange eyes.
Prince Consort Yuan's face turned red from holding back his anger. Finally, he gritted his teeth and forced a smile through his teeth. He asked his daughter who was kneeling in the hall to stand up, then walked out of the door.
Even through her veil, Lady Xianrong could imagine the mocking gazes of the many people watching the show. She could not help but clutch her clothes tightly, holding back her tears, and stood up with the help of Bailing.
After reluctantly completing the ceremony, she was carried by Yuan Hongwen through several main gates and all the way to the door, where Chu Jingxing held the red silk and led her into the bridal sedan.
It was a good marriage between the Princess's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion, but in the end it turned out to be a bit strange.
The Empress Dowager did not give any special gifts from the palace.
The eldest princess barely managed to see her daughter out, then she gritted her teeth and held the cup with a sneer.
Wei'an.
Wei An!
This little girl was so arrogant that she deliberately gave her such unforgettable shame and embarrassment!
She would never let this little girl go easily and would make her pay the price she deserved!
